New Use for Coal Ashes.
Am. GULtiUGtOr.

Am. CUttlUutOT.
| have discovered IL new method of
preserving apples, eggs, fence posts,
ETC., by simply covering the former
with fine coal ashes. My plan is to
spread IL bed of ashes eight inches or
more in thickness, and any size desired
upon the surface of the earth. Select
sound, hard winter apples and cover
them to within one foot of its edge on
all sides. After placing one or two
layers of fruit throw on Il slight cover
ing of ashes, then more fruit, and so
proceed until the desired quantity has
been embedded. Then cover the bed
to the depth of at least one foot with
ashes both fine and coarse. No injury
will result from either rains or frosts.
Coal ashes absorb and evapOrate the
moisture readily, as any one can learn
by observation. | have repeatedly
made the test, and know that fruit can
be kept sound in this way for year
or more, and ut the end of that time
will he as fresh as when put down. 1t
must be used as soon rs uncovered,
however, for the action of the atmOs-
phere will soon cause decay. Eggs
can he packed i'm this manner during
that part of the season when they are
cheapest, and if newly laid, will keep
perfectly fresh.
Coal ashes are poisonous, or at least
injurious, to vegetation, especially
when applied around fruit trees. One
reason for this | think is that they alb
sorb all the moisture from the soil in
which the roots are imbedded, and thus
prevent the plant food from becoming
dissolved, without which it cannot be
assimilated The soil directly under
even II thin layer of coal ashes will al
ways be found dry. Every thing in
existence has some fitting place where
it can be used for the benefit of man
kind

Brain-Forcing in children.

DR.. VIM. A. Hammond IA Popular Science Monthly.
We are living under the reign of the
schOOlmaster. The impulse to have
children acquire learning that can new
or be made available for any purpose
of life is SO powerful that it may al
most be regarded as morbid. For
children To he reduced to one common
level, as they are in onr schools almost
without exception, and to have stndies
crowded upon them in advance of their
brain development, are crimes against
nature which nature in her blind way
expiates lay furnishing the wrong per
son, but which those who know the
right should promptly expose. The
brain of a child is larger in proportion
to its body than is that of the adult. A
fact which is somewhat astonishing to
those not aware of it is that the head
al the hoy ar girl does not grow i,I
,iz.. after the seventh year so that
the hat that is worn ut that age can be
~ orn just AS well at thirty. In the

Pasturing Cows EARLY.
American C,tItipqtor.

i American CuttiCGtOT.
1t used to he the unvarying rule
never to allow cows to get even a bite
of grass until it attained size to make a
good pasture without other food. The
reason assigned was that cows would
not eat dry feed so well, and not get
ting grass enough, or if not having the
substance to sustain milk production,
the yield would decrease and the COW
grow poorer. "Between hay and grass"
thus naturally came to be the phrase
expressing the condition of cattle that
did not get enough to eat. 1t was GER
tainly bad enough when, as sometimes
happened, both hay and grass were
deficient. But with plenty of hay the
evils from eating green food were al
ways exaggerated. Cows, when turn
ed out to pasture in early spring, need
some dry fodder TO offset the green
laxative food they pick up. They will
even eat straw greedily at such times
if they cannot get hay. 1t is quite
possible that they will not eat of eth
er straw or hay enough to bring the
yield of milk up to what it should he.
When cows get on full pasture in
June it is milk and butter producing
food, hard for any artificial ratiOns to
equal. But the deficiency may be part
ly supplied by grain, mill feed or meal.
Where IA mess of slOp with bran and
meal mixed is given, with as much dry
food rs they will eat, the earliest bite
of grass will do no injury to the COW,
either in making her condition poorer
or decreasing the milk yield. Grass
will, even in very small quantities, i'm
part better flavor to milk or butter
than can be given by any other feed.
Old pastures give more and sweeter
heritage if kept closely cropped
through the season, and to do this
they must be pastured early, or some
parts will become old and tough, thus
remaining uneaten, while, the grass
beside them is cropped down to the
sod. If cows are given grass early
i'll small quantities there will be no
danger of their becoming bloated or
hOven when given all they can devOur
later. The sudden change from dry
to green feed or the reverse should be
avoided rs far us possible.

The Star Livery Stables of Mr..
B. f. Pickett, is one OF the land
marks of Scranton, and it is a
noticeable fact they are now being
fitted up, cleaned, whitewashed and
otherwise put in order as though
no financial depression had ever
been felt in our community.
Through all the financial vicissi-
tudes of the past seventeen years
the Star Livery Stables have never
varied in price, except in confOrmi.
ty with surrounding circumstances,
and these prices have always been
uniform without respect to persons.
Good horseS, nice comfortable bug
gies, neat and clean Offices, warmed
by stove in winter, prompt atten-
tion night and day, characterize the
Star Livery Stables. Mr.. Pickett
has now, in connection with his
stables nice glass enclosed hearse,
as nice as can be had in any country
town, which he has fitted up sO that
our people may enjoy the luxury of
a decent burial. With these refec-
tons it must be seen that this insti-
tuition Is public benefit, aud de-
serves the support of the citizens.
